The EXORAPI projects aims to develop, implement, and validate a walking EXOskeleton for use in children affected by Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. The objective is to improve their quality of life and delay the decline of their physical condition.
The team in charge of developing the project is made up of a multi-disciplinary consortium which together gathers all the scientific knowledge necessary in the field of engineering and medicine to design a paediatric exoskeleton that may be used as an alternative to physiotherapy in children with serious neuromuscular diseases.
